About Digital Media Consultants - West Linn, OR based digital marketing company

About Digital Media Consultants

We help local businesses in Oregon and Washington thrive online. With over 20 years of digital marketing experience, we specialize in Google Ads management, local map optimization, reputation management, and custom dashboard creation, all designed to generate new leads and help businesses grow.

We believe in the power of hands-on partnership. Our clients aren’t just numbers in a dashboard they’re our neighbors, fellow business owners, and members of our local community. We take the time to understand their goals, visit their businesses in person, and create strategies that truly fit their market.

Our Mission

Our mission is simple: to deliver results-driven marketing strategies with a small company feel. We serve the busy business owner who doesn’t have the time (or desire) to become a digital marketing expert. We know how complex online advertising can be, and we’re here to make it easy, transparent, and effective.

Our promise is to treat every business as if we’re a stakeholder in its success. That means honesty, accountability, and taking the extra time to understand what really matters to each client.

Why We Started

After decades in the marketing industry, we saw what happens when agencies grow too big: client relationships fade, service levels drop, and sales teams promise things that marketing teams can’t deliver. Somewhere along the way, the connection to the client gets lost. We built Digital Media Consultants to get back to what we love, helping small and medium-sized businesses succeed. We believe that when you work closely with your clients, you can make a bigger impact, not just on their bottom line, but on their community as well.

Because we’re local to Oregon and Washington, we bring a level of understanding and service that national agencies simply can’t match. We meet face-to-face, we know your market, and we care about your results like they’re our own.

Our Experience

Our founder, Monique Lopez-Nelson, began her marketing career back in 2004, before Google Ads even existed. She started by helping small businesses in the Portland metro area show up on the first page of Yahoo search results, working with real estate agents, dental practices, and therapists who were just discovering the power of online visibility. Over the next two decades, Monique expanded her expertise across hundreds of industries and worked with businesses of all sizes, from local startups to Fortune 500 companies with multi-million-dollar monthly ad budgets. That experience shaped a deep understanding of how different strategies work for different markets, and how personal relationships can make or break success.

Now, with Digital Media Consultants, she’s come full circle: bringing enterprise-level expertise back to local businesses who deserve that same high-quality service and attention.
